5 Things To Do This Weekend
Take it easy this weekend before getting into full-on holiday mode.
Enjoy one of the last non-holiday-focused weekends left of the year at local wineries, art galleries and nature preserves:
1. From Nov. 4 throughout the winter, Shinn Estate Vineyards will stay open on Friday evenings until 8 p.m. for a special evening of wine, cheese and Joan Bernhardt will conduct palm readings from 5 to 8 p.m. for $20 per session. Glasses of wine and cheese plates are $5 each.
2. Inlet Pond County Park in Greenport hosts an informational session Friday at 6 p.m. on how you can help save cold-stunned sea turtles. It's a special presentation by the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation, sponsored by the North Fork Audubon Society.
3. Enjoy a bird walk through the woods at Hallockville Museum Farm Riverhead on Saturday at 9 a.m. with Mary Laura Lamont, local naturalist and birding expert. Bring binoculars, appropriate apparel, and sturdy footwear.
4. Check out the work of local artists Barbara Groot and Keith Mantell at Jamesport Manor Inn, 370 Manor Lane in Jamesport, on Sunday at 3 p.m. The exhibit features East End inspirations — the heart of much of their work. Local wines and artisan cheeses will be served.
5. Into really awesome vocal harmonies? Then you'll love the music of LARK, an a cappella group with repertoire ranging from Italian Renaissance to American Jazz. They will be performing on Sunday at 4 p.m. at Poquatuck Hall, 1160 Skipper's Lane in Orient. Tickets are $7 with light refreshments to follow.
Stuff happens on the North Fork. Be sure to stay with North Fork Patch for our comprehensive events listings: northfork.patch.com/search/events.
